An air bag system designed for mounting on a
steering wheel or other member of a motor vehicle
passenger compartment includes an air bag assembly,
an open housing for the same and a cover. The air
bag assembly while separated from its housing is
disarmed to prevent accidental deployment. The air
bag is armed during its installation in the housing.
The housing and assembly are constructed so that the
cover cannot be installed if the air bag assembly is
missing or it has been installed improperly so that
it is not armed. When the air bag assembly is
removed from the housing, it is automatically
disarmed.
Un coussin gonflable pour volant ou pour toute autre partie du compartiment passager d'un véhicule à moteur et comprenant un ensemble pour coussin gonflable, un logement libre pour l'ensemble et un couvercle. L'ensemble pour coussin gonflable, lorsqu'il n'est pas fixé à son logement, est désarmé pour éviter que le coussin se gonfle accidentellement. Le coussin d'air est armé au cours de son installation dans le logement. Le logement et l'ensemble sont conçus pour empêcher la pose du couvercle si l'ensemble pour coussin gonflable n'y est pas ou a mal été installé afin d'éviter que le coussin soit armé. Lorsque l'ensemble pour coussin gonflable est retiré de son logement, il est désarmé automatiquement.
